You are a little monster that can fly and puke explosive bouncy goo, and you cannot die. Somewhere in the level there is a cake that you can't eat.
Have fun puking!
Update: I uploaded a new zip The game has now been tested on both a windows 7 64bit with vs2008 installed and uac enabled, and vista 64bit without visual studio and it worked as expected. The console window that appears is merely a convenience to easily start the game. To start it in fullscreen enter dist/release and run ludumdare_15.exe and the game should start in fullscreen. If it doesn't reply to one of my posts and we'll take it from there.
Hint: Tab enters/exits debug/cheat-mode and let's you change a few variables.
Linux/mac: as long as you have a c++ compiler, boost, sfml, box2d, boost and anttweakbar. I might be able to borrow a mac this weekend and uppload a .app :)
I can't seem to figure out how to run it either. I get no error, but running either of the "run-" programs in the folder seems to have no result past a console window opening for a split second.
Love the main character.. reminds me of something Don Hertzfeldt would create. I also like the concept of exploding puke balls. I couldn't really find much of a game here though so I got a bit bored before I found the cake. Maybe you shouldn't have told me ahead of time that I couldn't eat it... remember, the cake is a lie-- not the truth. ;)
Congrats on your first LD and thanks for keeping a great journal!
"The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." or "The system cannot execute the specified program." when I use your batch files.
It could be pretty fun doing vomit-strafe-runs (just like playing l4d!), but there's no enemies to asplode. The explosion sound effect is WAY too loud; fortunately they never stacked or I'd be concerned about my speakers. Could be good, but too unfinished.
Control system + physics worked well - though the game seemed to run very slowly for (very smooth, just slow). The overlapping soft-edged tiles wre a nice idea. Shame there were no enemies/hazards to add a challenge

Anyway, nice idea but not much of a challenge. A few obstacles and health for the player would spice this up.
